(b) Conventional technology and its problems Conventionally, one of the methods for manufacturing a thin film type unimorph cantilever is to form a silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ) cantilever and then sputter a piezoelectric thin film onto the SiO 2 . There is a way to form. However, this type of manufacturing method has a problem in that the cantilever beams are bent due to distortion caused by sputtering during the process of forming the piezoelectric thin film. Such defects occur due to subtle changes in conditions during sputtering and are attributable to various factors, and it has been extremely difficult to eliminate or uniquely control them. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, we thought of a method in which a piezoelectric thin film is not formed by sputtering on a cantilever beam, but a piezoelectric thin film is formed by sputtering on a silicon dioxide beam, and then a cantilever is obtained. It will be done.

By the way, in the conventional method of obtaining a cantilever beam of silicon dioxide, for example, as shown in FIG. This opening 2 and this opening 2
A silicon dioxide film 4 having a convex long side 3 relative to a U-shaped recess is formed, and anisotropic etching is performed from this opening 2 to form a silicon dioxide cantilever whose longitudinal direction is in the <110> direction. I'm trying to get a 5. In this case, since etching in the direction of the (111) plane is slow, the hole 7 whose entire surface 6 is formed by the (111) plane
A cantilever beam 5 is formed on the silicon dioxide film 4 other than the long side portion 3 having a convex corner 3a.
No overetching of silicon to the bottom of the surface occurs. That is, a cantilever beam 5 is formed by the shape of the silicon dioxide film 4 having convex corners 3a.

Here, in order to obtain the above-mentioned double-supported beam of silicon dioxide film, consider the case where the long side 3 is extended and bridged as shown by the dotted line in Fig. 1. Since the convex corner part 3a of the part 3 is eliminated, even if etching is performed, the long side part 3, that is, the silicon dioxide which should become the double-supported beam, will not be etched downward, and it will not be possible to obtain the double-supported beam after all. Can not. If a beam supported on both sides cannot be obtained, a piezoelectric thin film is formed by sputtering with the beam supported on both sides.
After that, the method of obtaining a cantilever beam also becomes unfeasible.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for manufacturing a cantilever beam that does not cause distortion due to sputtering or the like.

According to the method for manufacturing a cantilever beam of the present invention, since the width of the third opening provided at the tip of the long side is made larger than the width of the long side, a convex corner is formed at the tip of the long side. Etching also progresses below the long side and supporting side, resulting in a double-supported beam.
Then, before cutting the silicon substrate and supporting side in a plane including the width direction of the third opening to form a cantilever beam,
Since the piezoelectric thin film is formed on the long side portions and the supporting side portions, the possibility of distortion occurring due to sputtering or the like during formation of the piezoelectric thin film is eliminated. Therefore, the bending of the tip of the cantilever beam can be reduced, and the resonance characteristics and directivity of the sensor can be improved, and the cantilever beam obtained by implementing the present invention can be used in piezoelectric relays and optical modulators. When applied, the amount of tip displacement can be easily controlled. Moreover, the yield during manufacturing can be significantly improved.
